Derision is a more formal word and emphasizes that sth is being greeted with laughter because it is not worth taking seriously. * contempt、scorn和disdain强调表现得不尊重，而非嘲笑。contempt意味着强烈的厌恶感觉。scorn和disdain意味着因某物不够好而排斥它。disdain有自觉高人一等的意味。scorn常通过语言表现。mockery、ridicule和derision强调使某人或某事物看上去很可笑。mockery和ridicule表示使之在他人眼中也显得可笑。derision是较为正式的词，强调某事物不值得认真对待而一笑置之。 |
